, 1. Once students decode well, which statement describes the relationship

A) Reading comprehension is largely dependent on fast, automatic word recognition.
B) Vocabulary is the best single predictor of reading comprehension.
C) Teaching more vocabulary words improves comprehension more than any other
strategy.
D) Vocabulary and decoding are equally important throughout the school years.
Answer: B) Vocabulary is the best single predictor of reading
comprehension.
Explanation: While decoding is essential for breaking the code, once it is mastered,
the breadth and depth of a student's vocabulary become the primary factor in
understanding and interpreting text.
2. In teaching the word invisible, the teacher broke it into the parts in - vis -ible
and talked about the meanings of the parts. Which aspect of language was

B) morphology
C) semantics

professional families were exposed to millions more words than children from
welfare-recipient families, creating a significant early language gap.
4. According to research on differences in word growth, which of the following is
NOT true?
A) The gap in word knowledge persists and can widen through the school years.
B) The gap in word knowledge automatically decreases by the end of grade 2.
C) Effective vocabulary instruction can help narrow the gap.
D) The words that students know vary greatly.
Answer: B) The gap in word knowledge automatically decreases by the end
of grade 2.
